Mulan, who debuted in the 1998 Disney Animation film, is one of the company’s more iconic animated heroines. In the original movie, Mulan told the tale of a young woman who takes her ailing father’s place in the ancient Chinese military. Posing a man in the male-only army, Mulan must save her country from the invading Huns.
Mulan continues Disney’s recent trend of adapting its classic cartoons into live-action films. So far, the studio has released a live-action version of Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent and Cinderella. A live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson, will hit theaters in March 2017.
No release date was announced, but stay tuned for more updates.
